Landings

Take in the very best of Fiordland on a half-day adventure. This scenic flight showcases three remarkable fiords, combining iconic sights with remote wilderness best appreciated from the air.

This excursion lets you discover some of Fiordland National Park's unique hidden gems. This is truly a 'must-do' before you leave Fiordland. Fly through Campbell's Kingdom, a prehistoric, untouched wilderness area accessible only by air.

Experience the grandeur of Fiordland from above as you weave between Tamatea / Dusky Sound, Patea / Doubtful Sound and the iconic Piopiotahi / Milford Sound. You'll gain a bird's-eye view of some of New Zealand's most extraordinary scenery, including the Pembroke Glacier, Sutherland Falls and the iconic Mitre Peak.

This is our premier heli-flight experience and includes three wilderness landings:

•    Elizabeth Peak, Patea / Doubtful Sound
•    Lake Quill, the headwaters of Milford Sound’s Sutherland Falls, is one of the highest waterfalls in the Southern Hemisphere.
•    Mt Pender, Tamatea / Dusky Sound

 

From 1 April 2026, a temporary fuel surcharge will be applied to flights.
